Cletus - agree with you on coach Lehman, what she has done with Rutgers in a short period of time is incredible and I thought deserved the COY. Also feel the same way about GG - what he has done with this team after losing those 2 players is amazing and deserves the award as well.Cletus wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 11:17 amThe awards sector of women’s lacrosse is too safe and polite. I would also say the same thing for coach of the year in the Big Ten. I think coach Lehman deserved the award for what she did with Rutgers this year. The powers that be seem too timid to rock the boat or offend people or whatever. The commentary on the whole from women’s lacrosse is too safe and polite. Mutual admiration societies get awfully boring awfully quick.seacoaster wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 9:55 am The player honors make complete sense. The COY, not so much. Gary loses two Tewaarton candidates to calamitous injury, including perhaps the best offensive player in the college game today, finishes (before the NCAA tournament) 14-3, but Levy gets the coach of the year award. AWW had a better case for COY, given what I think most people expected from BC and the subsequent trajectory of enormous improvement on the backs of a lot of freshmen and sophomores. It's not "Best Record of the Year Award."
I wonder if the coaches actually care about those awards?
